Frequently asked about vegetable emojis
Why is 🍆 (eggplant) used suggestively?
🍆 eggplant has been used as a phallic symbol since 2015, when Instagram banned the hashtag #eggplant due to the convention. It's heavily moderated on TikTok and dating apps. The slang use is now so dominant that some people avoid the literal recipe use, opting for 🥒 cucumber instead — which has acquired the same association in some circles.
Is a tomato a vegetable in emoji land?
Yes — Unicode tags 🍅 tomato with 'vegetable' (and also 'fruit' since botanically it is a fruit). The keyword tagging reflects culinary use rather than botanical classification. The US Supreme Court actually settled this debate in 1893 (Nix v. Hedden) — tomatoes are vegetables for tariff purposes.
